Chapter 479
It wasn’t even the Chinese New Year yet, but the streets outside the palace seem to be embodying the festive season pretty well.
The entire street of the temple fair was full of people— some prayed to the Gods, worshipping Buddha whereas lion dances and juggling were seen everywhere. The overall atmosphere was very lively.
Lin Feilu was worried that with so many people crowding around and her tendency to run around to look at new things, she would get separated from Song Jinglan if she didn’t pay attention. Hence, the two went to the Yuelao Temple to ask for a red rope. Everyone else tied it with blessing packs and hung it onto the tree, but the two just decided to tie their wrists together with it.
The red thread was wrapped several times between their wrists. It was neither loose nor tight, so with a mere light tug, they could sense each other’s existence.
Lin Feilu was very satisfied as she shook her wrist, “You are now my wrist-bound pendant.”
Song Jinglan smiled and retorted and the other replied. The two of them teased each other back and forth, like two childish ghosts, until the bean cake vendor next to them couldn’t stand it anymore, “You two, can you excuse me, please? Don’t block my business, alright? I still have to work hard to make money and marry a wife!”
Lin Feilu immediately answered with the temperament of a rich socialite, “Let me contribute to your great career of getting a wife! Come, serve me ten bean cakes!”
Song Jinglan laughed and shook his head, “Can you finish eating them?”
Lin Feilu took out her purse to the joy of the hawker, “We can take it back and give it to Tiandong and the others to try.”
Therefore, Song Jinglan held the paper wrapped with bean cakes in one hand whereas his other hand, tied with a red thread, enclasped with hers as they went to the temple fair.
Lin Feilu loved lively atmospheres, so she would always stop to take a look at everything and even had the urge to sample a taste of all the food she laid her eyes on. After eating, she pursed her mouth before Song Jinglan smiled and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
There was a lion dance performance in the open space of the square that Lin Feilu managed to squeeze herself amidst the crowd to watch while munching on some snacks. She was watching with relish, but abruptly, she saw a familiar figure flashing across the crowd. However, there were too many people around her, so when she took a closer look, they disappeared again.
Song Jinglan saw her standing on her tippy toes, so he lowered his head and asked, “What are you looking for?”
She wrinkled her nose, “It was almost as if I saw Yan Xin, but I must have been mistaken.”
That being said, with this little episode, she began to pay close attention to her surroundings when she went shopping later. The back of the red dress that she saw in the crowd just now was indeed somewhat similar to Yan Xin. Although the possibility of the girl coming here at this time was only 0.1%, Lin Feilu was still in an eager mood to spot the easter egg.
The temple fair not only had a lot of juggling, but also a lot of food. Tingchun, Shixia, Songyu and the others have never been out of the palace other than a couple of times in their life. Every time Lin Feilu encountered something delicious and interesting outside the palace, she would buy more of it in order to take it back for them to have a taste.
